BEIRUT: The delegation from the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) that handed Lebanon Thursday an indictment in the case of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri will head to Syria, a source told The Daily Star.

The source did not elaborate on the timing of the visit, but said "the delegation would head to Syria on a similar mission," referring to a visit earlier this morning when the team met with Lebanese State Prosecutor Saeed Mirza and handed him the Lebanon portion of the indictment. 

"The delegation is expected to hand over a list of suspects and the accusations against them," the source added.

Earlier U.N. investigations had suggested Syria played a pivotal role in the planning and execution of Hariri's assassination.
